Good writers only accept good guest writers and vice versa.

When all else fails I always listen to my gut. Glad to know guest blogging is not normally a paid art. Happy blogging! Hi Karyn,

Thanks for your feedback. When all else fails I always listen to my gut. Glad to know guest blogging is not normally a paid art.

Happy blogging!

I must admit, I have never had guest bloggers ask for payment! That's very unusual, in my book, and I think you were right to decline these requests. Guest bloggers asking for their posts to be promoted via other social channels - that's fine. After all, when you are promoting their guest post, you are also promoting your own blog! @Karen: Thanks for the comment and question. I must admit, I have never had guest bloggers ask for payment!

Recently I started receiving requests to host guest bloggers. I am wondering about some requests you didn't mention and if they are common? For example, I was asked how much I would be willing to pay for a guest blog. I've also had a prospective guest blogger request about blogging on subjects completely foreign to my very specific topic. My topic is hair, beauty, fashion and they wanted to blog about politics without any bridge to my topic. Finally, I've had guest bloggers wanting me to promote their blog links on my Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and daily newsletters. All of those requests seemed odd to me at the time so I declined, but the guest bloggers wanting to know how much I would pay were akin to someone asking if they could stay in my guest bedroom and then asking how much I would pay them to stay there. Is it common for guest bloggers to ask for payment? Thanks again for a fab list of rule. They helped me so much. Great post and so timely for me.
